Show Notes

How good is most psychological research? The field of psychology has long struggled with a reputation for not being a "real" science. Now, thanks to the Reproducibility Project, an ambitious attempt to replicate the findings of dozens of published studies, it seems to many that psychology research is at a crossroads. Mallory Kidwell, a project coordinator at Center for Open Science, explains why reproducibility matters, what steps the field can take to address the issue, and how the public should interpret the Reproducibility Project's shockingly low rate of successful replications.
